26th - 28th July

A new Ruff, an adult this time, on Trolla Vatn was the only sighting of interest on the 26th. Conditions during the night were good for catching Storm Petrels, with 33 new birds ringed and another wearing a Norwegian ring. A Quail was singing at Cruesbreck on the 27th, and at least 3 Orcas were seen off the north end of the island. The Ruff was on Trolla Vatn again on the 28th, while a Garganey was at Hooking Loch and a Green Sandpiper was on the links.
